Ja Rule addresses FYRE Festival catastrophe in new song "FYRE"
Ja Rule has dropped new song "FYRE" addressing the notorious festival after being cleared from the $100million class action lawsuit against co-founder Billy McFarland.
The rapper co-founded the "luxury" shitshow known as FYRE Festival with Billy McFarland, which took place in 2017 on the Bahamian island of Great Exuma, and led to multiple documentaries showcasing the catastrophic event.
Over the weekend, Ja Rule addressed the festival in a new song he dropped via Instagram titled "FYRE", which stands for "For Your Real Entertainment". The single artwork features a sketch of the iconic, far-from-luxury cheese sandwich which went viral back in 2017.
Ja Rule addresses the festival disasters in the song, "The festival is on fire / We don’t need no water, make that motherfucker hotter / Hotter than the sun, but it wasn’t that / How about a show of hands if you got your money back? / I’m just playing, I got sued for that / 100 mil to be exact / I know you lack empathy for the one that’s me / But I too was bamboozled, hoodwinked, led astray."

As Stereogum notes, "FYRE" arrives after Ja Rule was dismissed from a $100million class action lawsuit against McFarland last month.
The rapper's new track samples the beat from Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick’s "The Show".
